Abstract: The rapid expansion of offshore wind energy as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels has necessitated the development of optimized surveying methods to support the installation and maintenance of wind farms. Offshore environments present unique challenges, including deep waters, complex seabed conditions, and harsh weather, which require precise and efficient surveying techniques. This review paper examines the current state of surveying methods used in offshore wind farm installations, highlighting recent advancements in technology and the integration of novel approaches. It discusses the importance of accurate surveys in site selection, foundation design, cable routing, and environmental impact assessments. Additionally, the paper explores the role of autonomous systems, remote sensing technologies, and data integration strategies in optimizing the efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability of offshore surveys. The review concludes with recommendations for future research and development aimed at further enhancing surveying methods in this critical sector.
